Fantasy Arcade RBI 2018 Draft Thread - Draft Day: Thursday September 6th

[ultimate7]

There is an issue with the SP in the file you posted.  You listed Clemens and Cy Young (sb a reliever instead of Tiant)

I strongly disagree with Jack Clark being listed at 3B (only 9 inning of 3B in his career, none with the Cards), Leon Durham also never played 3B

Ah man, huge issue that is fixed and will update the spreadsheet in the first post where it's attached.

I did too and initially I had all the players in the positions they started at the most. However, I had to move around some players from 1B and RF since they went too deep past the 10 for starters. 3B, LF, and CF got way too thin after the first 4-5 players and I didn't want to have a bunch of talent on the bench and limit overall choices for everybody's starting 8. So for the sake of the quality of the league, I was forced and even encouraged by some members to move some players to even out 3B, LF, and RF. I even had to move Lansford over to 2B to ease the pain for the 10th spot for second basemen. I hope you understand that there was just too much of a dropoff in contact/power at those mentioned positions and I didn't want to have quality players riding pine.

The official spreadsheet has been fixed and updated in the first post in this thread.

This is weird.

The draft will be very fascinating. I'm sure there'll be crazy surprises in the first 4-5 rounds.

[nomaaa]

so when is the draft again?

Take the date of the draft that Strassy is running and reverse it.

Thursday. Read the opening post in this thread - dates and times are there. 30 minute window for picks and remember, you can't just draft any OF, it has to be by position. If there was a draft to do your homework, this one is it.

I'm quitting if I can't get Jody Davis in a favorable draft slot. 

[nomaaa]

it's like he took something fun, flipped it & reversed it

[Darky]

I'll try and post all the players and their positions on the opening post of this thread if it allows me to fit in whatever X amount of characters are allowed. If not, I may just open a new thread for the draft in case anyone doesn't have excel access.

So after the draft, I am thinking of getting the season going and hopefully will have half the season done before October 11th which is the date I go to Vegas to start my 7-week vacation. The season and playoffs should be done before Thanksgiving - 2-3 slate of games a week so it'll be bonertown for FRBI junkies who need to be fed games in short intervals.

[Shooty]

Darky, why not just make your pick and get this started early?

[GDavis]

Looking to deal my first pick

Looking to deal my first pick

I'll give you my second rounder for it.

[Darky]

For the 1st pick of the draft, The Empire selects: CF Hack Wilson

[ryno]

Need a ruling.   By picking before the official draft date and time, the aforementioned drafted player is given to the last  on the draft list and the drafting team forfeits his original pick.   I'm right...certain of it

[nomaaa]

pretty sure dark side has to select nes version al pedrique

[ryno]

So moved.  All those in favor?

[TempoGL]

Been up since 5 AM and in class until 9:45.  I'll try and pick when I get home if I'm not asleep before I walk in the door.
